Mouse Paxip1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Paxip1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Paxip1 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Paxip1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_018878 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000002221 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 5. 21 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 21 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000002291). Exon 4 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Paxip1 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-25H24 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Homozygous mutant mice are developmentally retarded and embyronic lethal by E9.5. Exon 4 starts from about 8.24% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 4 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 3 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 2244 bp, and the size of intron 4 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 5742 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~564 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

    CPTC-TP53BP1-1 (CAB079980) Uniprot ID: Q12888 Protein name: TP53B_HUMAN Full name: TP53-binding protein 1 Function: Double-strand break (DSB) repair protein involved in response to DNA damage, telomere dynamics and class-switch recombination (CSR) during antibody genesis (PubMed:12364621, PubMed:22553214, PubMed:23333306, PubMed:17190600, PubMed:21144835, PubMed:28241136). Plays a key role in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) in response to DNA damage by promoting non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)- mediated repair of DSBs and specifically counteracting the function of the homologous recombination (HR) repair protein BRCA1 (PubMed:22553214, PubMed:23727112, PubMed:23333306). In response to DSBs, phosphorylation by ATM promotes interaction with RIF1 and dissociation from NUDT16L1/TIRR, leading to recruitment to DSBs sites (PubMed:28241136). Recruited to DSBs sites by recognizing and binding histone H2A monoubiquitinated at 'Lys-15' (H2AK15Ub) and histone H4 dimethylated at 'Lys-20' (H4K20me2), two histone marks that are present at DSBs sites (PubMed:23760478, PubMed:28241136, PubMed:17190600). Required for immunoglobulin class-switch recombination (CSR) during antibody genesis, a process that involves the generation of DNA DSBs (PubMed:23345425). Participates in the repair and the orientation of the broken DNA ends during CSR (By similarity). In contrast, it is not required for classic NHEJ and V(D)J recombination (By similarity). Promotes NHEJ of dysfunctional telomeres via interaction with PAXIP1 (PubMed:23727112). Subcellular

  • MLL3 Suppresses Tumorigenesis Through Regulating TNS3 Enhancer Activity
    Zheng et al. Cell Death and Disease (2021) 12:364 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-021-03647-2 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access MLL3 suppresses tumorigenesis through regulating TNS3 enhancer activity Jun-Yi Zheng1,2, Chen-Yu Wang1,2,ChuanGao1,2,QiongXiao1,2,Cheng-WeiHuang1,2,MinWu 1,2 and Lian-Yun Li1,2 Abstract MLL3 is a histone H3K4 methyltransferase that is frequently mutated in cancer, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we found that MLL3 depletion by CRISPR/sgRNA significantly enhanced cell migration, but did not elevate the proliferation rate of cancer cells. Through RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq approaches, we identified TNS3 as the potential target gene for MLL3. MLL3 depletion caused downregulation of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac on an enhancer ~ 7 kb ahead of TNS3. 3C assay indicated the identified enhancer interacts with TNS3 promoter and repression of enhancer activity by dCas9-KRAB system impaired TNS3 expression. Exogenous expression of TNS3 in MLL3 deficient cells completely blocked the enhanced cell migration phenotype. Taken together, our study revealed a novel mechanism for MLL3 in suppressing cancer, which may provide novel targets for diagnosis or drug development.

Open data enables researchers to accelerate cancer studies, save resources and foster collaboration. Several tools and programming approaches are available for analyzing data, including annotation, clustering, comparison and extrapolation, merging, enrichment, functional association and statistics. We exploit openly available data via cancer gene expression analysis, we apply refinement as well as enrichment analysis via gene ontology and conclude with graph-based visualization of involved protein interaction networks as a basis for signaling. The different databases allowed for the construction of huge networks or specified ones consisting of high-confidence interactions only. Several genes associated to glioma were isolated via a network analysis from top hub nodes as well as from an outlier analysis. The latter approach highlights a mitogen-activated protein kinase next to a member of histondeacetylases and a protein phosphatase as genes uncommonly associated with glioma. Cluster analysis from top hub nodes lists several identified glioma-associated gene products to function within protein complexes, including epidermal growth factors as well as cell cycle proteins or RAS proto-oncogenes.

  • EBF1 Drives Hallmark B Cell Gene Expression by Enabling the Interaction of PAX5 with the MLL H3K4 Methyltransferase Complex Charles E
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN EBF1 drives hallmark B cell gene expression by enabling the interaction of PAX5 with the MLL H3K4 methyltransferase complex Charles E. Bullerwell1, Philippe Pierre Robichaud1,2, Pierre M. L. Deprez1, Andrew P. Joy1, Gabriel Wajnberg1, Darwin D’Souza1,3, Simi Chacko1, Sébastien Fournier1, Nicolas Crapoulet1, David A. Barnett1,2, Stephen M. Lewis1,2 & Rodney J. Ouellette1,2* PAX5 and EBF1 work synergistically to regulate genes that are involved in B lymphocyte diferentiation. We used the KIS-1 difuse large B cell lymphoma cell line, which is reported to have elevated levels of PAX5 expression, to investigate the mechanism of EBF1- and PAX5-regulated gene expression. We demonstrate the lack of expression of hallmark B cell genes, including CD19, CD79b, and EBF1, in the KIS-1 cell line. Upon restoration of EBF1 expression we observed activation of CD19, CD79b and other genes with critical roles in B cell diferentiation. Mass spectrometry analyses of proteins co-immunoprecipitated with PAX5 in KIS-1 identifed components of the MLL H3K4 methylation complex, which drives histone modifcations associated with transcription activation. Immunoblotting showed a stronger association of this complex with PAX5 in the presence of EBF1. Silencing of KMT2A, the catalytic component of MLL, repressed the ability of exogenous EBF1 to activate transcription of both CD19 and CD79b in KIS-1 cells. We also fnd association of PAX5 with the MLL complex and decreased CD19 expression following silencing of KMT2A in other human B cell lines. These data support an important role for the MLL complex in PAX5-mediated transcription regulation.

  • Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Similarities and Differences
    Seifert et al. BMC Cancer (2015) 15:952 DOI 10.1186/s12885-015-1939-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Comparative transcriptomics reveals similarities and differences between astrocytoma grades Michael Seifert1,2,5*, Martin Garbe1, Betty Friedrich1,3, Michel Mittelbronn4 and Barbara Klink5,6,7 Abstract Background: Astrocytomas are the most common primary brain tumors distinguished into four histological grades. Molecular analyses of individual astrocytoma grades have revealed detailed insights into genetic, transcriptomic and epigenetic alterations. This provides an excellent basis to identify similarities and differences between astrocytoma grades. Methods: We utilized public omics data of all four astrocytoma grades focusing on pilocytic astrocytomas (PA I), diffuse astrocytomas (AS II), anaplastic astrocytomas (AS III) and glioblastomas (GBM IV) to identify similarities and differences using well-established bioinformatics and systems biology approaches. We further validated the expression and localization of Ang2 involved in angiogenesis using immunohistochemistry. Results: Our analyses show similarities and differences between astrocytoma grades at the level of individual genes, signaling pathways and regulatory networks. We identified many differentially expressed genes that were either exclusively observed in a specific astrocytoma grade or commonly affected in specific subsets of astrocytoma grades in comparison to normal brain. Further, the number of differentially expressed genes generally increased with the astrocytoma grade with one major exception. The cytokine receptor pathway showed nearly the same number of differentially expressed genes in PA I and GBM IV and was further characterized by a significant overlap of commonly altered genes and an exclusive enrichment of overexpressed cancer genes in GBM IV. Additional analyses revealed a strong exclusive overexpression of CX3CL1 (fractalkine) and its receptor CX3CR1 in PA I possibly contributing to the absence of invasive growth.

Elevated levels of expression are observed in tumor progression, resulting in Ets-1 being named an oncoprotein. It has recently been shown that Ets-1 interacts with two DNA repair enzymes, PARP-1 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1) and DNA-PK (DNA-dependent protein kinase), through two different domains and that these interactions play a role in cancer. Considering that Ets-1 can bind to distinctly different domains of two DNA repair enzymes, we hypothesized that the interaction can be transposed onto homologs of the respective domains. We have searched for sequence and structure homologs of the interacting ETS(Ets-1), BRCT(PARP-1) and SAP(DNA-PK) domains, and have identified several candidate binding pairs that are currently not annotated as such. Many of the Ets-1 partners are associated to DNA repair mechanisms. We have applied protein-protein docking to establish putative interaction poses and investigated these using centrality analyses at the protein residue level.

    OncoTargets and Therapy Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article ORIGINAL RESEARCH Knockdown of Long Non-Coding RNA LOC100132707 Inhibits the Migration of Uveal Melanoma Cells via Silencing JAK2 This article was published in the following Dove Press journal: OncoTargets and Therapy Ying Qi Background/Objective: Although lots of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been Renjie Yao demonstrated to be involved in carcinogenesis, the functions of numerous of lncRNAs Wenjing Zhang remain unknown. Bioinformatics online database showed that lncRNA LOC100132707 Qingqing Cui was highly expressed in metastatic melanoma tissues, and its expression predicted a lower Fengyan Zhang overall survival rate in melanoma patients. However, LOC100132707 function in uveal melanoma (UM) progression still remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to Department of Ophthalmology, The First elucidate the role and molecular mechanisms underlying LOC100132707 in UM. AffiliatedHospital of Zhengzhou University, The Laboratory for Ophthalmology and Methods: RT-PCR was used to detect the levels of LOC100132707 in UM cells. Cell Vision Science, Henan Eye Hospital, migration, invasion and tumorigenesis were tested by using the transwell chamber assay and Zhengzhou 450052, Henan, People’s in vivo assay. Republic of China Results: LOC100132707 expression in metastatic UM cell line MM28 was significantly higher than that of the non-metastatic UM cell lines, MP38, MP46 and MP65, as well as the expressions of LOC100132707-related genes, including XRN1, PARP14, JAK2, DDX60, BUB1 and SAMD9L. LOC100132707 downregulation significantly repressed cell migration and invasion abilities, whereas overexpressing JAK2 rescued these effects. Consistently, upregulation of LOC100132707 induced significant increases in cell migration and invasion abilities via upregulating JAK2.
